The Perfect Luna

was slowly coming to power, how he watched when Brayden stripped her of her title… She knew very well that she couldn’t rely on him.

“That’s very sweet of you to say that,” she sighed, “But as you can see, you may as well have a new Luna soon.”

Riannon walked past him and got inside the car. She was about to pull the train of her dress in, when Ash kneeled next to her, doing it for her carefully. Their eyes locked just for a second and his shone blue as he said, “Brayden may have a mate or a new wife even. But I will only have one Luna.”

He closed the door for her before she could say anything and got to the driver’s seat.

Just then the passenger door opened and Harper, Brayden’s sister tried to get in.

“Oh, good, Ash!” she giggled, “I want to go home early too!”

“You’d better find another car, Har,” the Beta said dryly. “But I…” the girl seemed stunned and looked at Ria questioningly.

“She can ride with us,” Riannon sighed. She really did not want to. Harper was almost never nice to her. And she did not want to make her even angrier than usual.

“No,” Ash said dryly, “I have my orders to take Luna home alone. For safety reasons. Find another car, Harp.”

“But…” she tried to object but a loud Beta growl made her leave the car in an instant.

Ash rarely used his dominance but today he did.

The car doors locked, and he drove off. They spent most of the road in silence, just exchanging a few phrases about the party.

“The lycan king…”, Ash muttered, “What is that about?”

“He is just trying to maintain the friendly relationship with our kind,” she shook her shoulders and looked away.

“And yet he spoke and danced with you only,” the Beta noticed.

“Turns out he heard about my work,” she lied without blinking, “You sound so surprised.

Is it so strange for him to pay me attention?”

“Of course, not,” Ash cleared his throat and grasped the steering wheel tighter, “If anyone deserves recognition, it’s definitely you. I am just surprised he arrived at all.”

It was true. Riannon was surprised as well. Back in her previous life, he never arrived at the Alpha Ball. They never met. good thing as this was what she needed – to change everything. But on the other hand, it was scary. Because if the changes were drastic, she wouldn’t know where she could place a safe bet.
